Dear V. Dm.,

Please write to me:

1) Is it true that you have taken the Dukhobors into sovkhoz 99 and are very satisfied with them?

2) How stand matters with the transportation of Dukhobors (a) from Canada, (b) from the Caucasus to Russia (if this is known to you);

3) Will a report be compiled and printed for the STO of that regional economic council where the sovkhoz operates + brick factories and so forth, of which you told me.

Who officially manages this sovkhoz?

Who is in the regional economic conference?

With comradely greetings, Lenin

P. S. All these questions are of a private character. Therefore I ask that no one refer to my letter.
